Fallout TV Show Review

I have now watched all 8 episodes, so let's talk about the Fallout TV show. Caution: there are spoilers!

It's official, Tim Cain is a self-confessed Murder-Hobo! 😆

My good friend Nate here in Florida is a well known cosplayer. The dead assaultron laying in the sand in episode 2 is actually his costume that they bought from him to use. He had to keep it secret for a long, long time and was super excited to finally see it on the screen.

The part with the "water chip broke and we only have two months" FO1 reference was a bit weird, because no one talked about it later. 😂

You are mocking me with this thumbnail, Tim.

[kotzpenner]

Yes exactly! I thought the same!
Lucy: First playthrough
Maximus: second playthrough
Ghoul: third playthrough

I love how you didn't pull the "I made Fallout" card. I also love how you, as one of the creators of Fallout still theorize about Fallout. Your acceptance of other storytellers' take on the franchise is really commendable.

My favorite 'easteregg' so far was Cooper wanting to buy a 5 acre farm in Bakersfield....
Bakersfield shows up as Necropolis in Fallout and Cooper turns soI thought it hilarious he thought he is safe there haha

I agree that vault tec was planning on nuking but didnt actually, they had so many unfinished vaults. You'd think they'd finish construction on all their projects before pushing the button.

The three protagonists basically being player character builds doing the same campaign but via different routes / sidequests was BRILLIANT. It translated so well into TV. Never expected the show to be as good as it was.

I wish this video was 3x longer, could listen to you talk Fallout all day

[petesime]

Wilzig asking Lucy "The question is, will you still want the same things, when you've become a different animal altogether?" was such a good piece of foreshadowing for the conclusion.

Tim is literally a legend, so positive. Must feel incredible seeing something you worked on from the beginning evolve into such an IP and now with a show too.

It would be so cool to see the original Fallout devs get a cameo in the next season

[BigsShow]

Tim, i thought the same thing. Why would she send her kid to the party knowing the bombs would fall? Something is up there.

[kuridongo]

hi Tim! I asked Michael Abbott Jr., the actor who played the sand purifier diaper guy, if he was familiar with the original game. his answer was:

"To this day I’ve never played any of the #FALLOUT games or seen any of the animation. The physicality was based solely on what I thought someone living under those conditions might look like and luckily Jonah & Graham were into it. The cloth diaper on the other hand—THEIR idea;-)"

this is a very interesting convergence of interpretation of what being in the wasteland would look like!

[Zieksmythe]

Yes! The guy with the “water filter” I loves that part! I told my wife that scene felt straight out of fallout, especially the end where he says “thanks for not shootin me with that gun” 😂

I really enjoyed Ep. 4. The one where Cooper drags Lucy around and they meet a ghoul named Rog and Lucy finds out the consequences of her accidentally destroying Cooper's vials. Then, Cooper has to put him down as a result. Later in the same episode, she releases a bunch of ghouls in a Super Duper Mart and has to do the same with Martha. The episode then ends with Lucy saving Cooper by bringing him the vials despite what he put her through. The tone of the episode was pretty much close with the original Fallout in that you could do everything right and still lose but still not give up anyway.

[ashuggtube]

The only thing they didn't do, that I wish they'd done, was bring Ron Perlman in to say "War… war never changes" 😊

Todd Howard confirmed in a interview that nuking of Shady Sands happened shortly after events of Fallout New Vegas (2281) and that Fallout 1, 2, FNV and Tactics are also still canon. "Fall of Shady Sands 2277" is not referencing nuking in 2277, but something different.

dude so wholesome and inspiring to see you talk anything game related especially Fallout related
